Services

Light up number and letter hire

Big LED numbers and letters, delivered to your venue, set up before guests arrive and collected afterwards. It is the one hire that changes a room the moment the lights go down.

01

Numbers, names and initials

Milestone ages are the obvious one, and they are what most people hire. But the letters do more work than the numbers: a first name across a first birthday, initials behind a top table, or a single word that means something to the couple.

The photographs guests take at the end of the night are almost always in front of these, so they are worth putting somewhere with room to stand back.

02

Delivered, set up, collected

They arrive with us, we position and set them, and we come back for them after the event. You are not carrying anything, and there is nothing to return.

That matters more than it sounds. These are large pieces, and the difference between a hire that helps and a hire that becomes your problem at midnight is entirely about who collects.

03

Better with a garland around them

A light up number on its own is a light up number. The same number with a garland built around its base, in the colours of the day, becomes the corner of the room everyone photographs.

Most of the light up hires we do go out with an organic garland worked around them, and it is the single cheapest way to make the display look considered rather than hired.

What light up hire includes

  • Delivery to your venue or home
  • Positioned and set up before guests arrive
  • Collected after the event
  • Numbers for milestone birthdays and anniversaries
  • Letters for names, initials and short words
  • A balloon garland built around them if you want it

Seamless. Really fab service. Perfect display.

Questions

Asked often

How tall are the light up numbers?

They are large freestanding pieces, taller than a table and designed to be seen across a room. Tell us your venue and we will confirm the exact size and the space they need.

Do they need to be plugged in?

Yes, they run on mains power, so they need a socket within reach of where they are standing. It is worth checking that with your venue when you book the room.

Can I hire numbers without anything else?

Yes. Light up numbers and letters can be hired on their own. Most people add a garland around the base, but it is not required.

How far ahead should I book light up letters?

Popular dates go early, particularly Saturdays in summer and the run up to Christmas. Get in touch with your date and we will tell you straight away whether it is free.

Do you deliver light up numbers outside Bedford?

Yes. We cover Milton Keynes, St Neots, Luton and Hitchin as well as Bedford and the smaller towns around them.
